And why not? That's his handiwork all over - the wall cabinet is on the wall, the base cabinets are all where they're supposed to be, and it all fits like a cozy pair of socks. It's looking good. That gave us the opportunity to measure for the plastic laminate. Looks like a 4x12 and a 4x10 sheet together would do the job, with two joints. (Those joints are always butt ugly; they need to be where the counter is short, like between the front of the sink and the edge of the counter, not in the middle of the six foot long and three foot wide peninsula.)This morning, I met Steve on site to go over the layout of the block walls for the front of the house.
He was late arriving, due to the need to purchase the wood for wrapping the column at the front entrance, so we had a chance to review that as well. The one column turned out to need about $400 of pre-primed trim. Holy Moses! Good thing there's only one of those on the front of the house! Now I need to seriously think about doing that on the back of the house for the trellis. Maybe not! 
But then again- it might be the right thing to do....And remember yesterday I said I didn't see much progress because of the rain? Not quite correct. Steve had been in the front, preparing for the pouring of the entrance stoop and steps, stacking more concrete rubble and digging for the foundation for the block walls that you can now see on the right side there. He also got flashing up for the planters to be up against the house.
Enjoy!
